Really enjoyed this holiday
Posted on Mon, 10 Nov 2025
Really enjoyed this holiday diary, and your wonderful photos, too. Best of all is your spirits battling against the liquids of sideways rain, dampness in the musty rustic cottage, and tea trickling from leaky teapot - helped by the liquids of...

I am glad you let him in :0) Wondering if perhaps, his people might have moved recently, and being in new territory, added to the fear of the noise, might have made him run too far to find his way back? Do you have a local facebook page you could...

Sampling the variety of sideways rain here, today, good to settle down (damply) and compare :0) I loved the last sentence in your Dally, and how you two always find something fun to do. That cross is amazing. The Reformation must have been...
